Just before 1:00 a.m. on March 28, 2017, Shreveport Police was dispatched to a shooting which occurred outside an apartment building at the Wilkinson Terrace apartments located in the 2700 block of Southern Avenue. When officers arrived at the scene, they were met by Shreveport Fire Department medics who were frantically working to save the life of 24-year-old Charzavious Rogers, who was suffering multiple gunshot wounds to the upper torso. Despite life-saving efforts, Rogers died upon his arrival at University Health hospital.
